Robson Banda and the New Black Eagles
have not become as famous as Thomas Mapfumo, the Bhundu Boys or the Four Brothers, yet they deserve the same
acclaim. Reconciliating the up-tempo Jit with the more intimate Chimurenga
music developed
during the liberation struggle of Zimbabwe, Robson sings as if he stands before a church
audience. Yet, the music is up-tempo and played with precision, and, although with minimal instrumentation, a
detailed reconstruction of Mbira lines.

Robson Banda, orginary from Congo, is no longer among us. Several band members have died as well.
Only remaining member of the New Black Eagles, guitar player John Chivere, is said to try
to bring together the New Black Eagles with new musicians.
